The Bucks have been playing better even without Giannis Antetokounmpo, which still makes sense, as they have other stars to lead the team. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday are capable of exploding while the pair of Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez have been fantastic in the absence of Antetokounmpo. As much as it would be great to see Chris Paul finally become a champion, Simpson thinks that this is the year of the Bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\">Click here to make your NBA picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-164969\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020.jpg 900w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-250x45.jpg 250w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-600x108.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/NBA-betting-sign-up-promo-2020-768x138.jpg 768w\" alt=\"NBA betting sign up promo 2020\" width=\"900\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"170364\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,392&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2021 NBA Finals is all set to kick off this Tuesday, with the Milwaukee Suns and the Phoenix Suns squaring off.
